Further Hearing in the Massachusetts
Bribery Investigation.
BOSTON,, April {

BosToN, April 20.
The legislative inquiry into the bribery
charges of Senator Slattery was continued
Wednesday. Senator Keith of Bourne was
the first witness and testified that he knew of
no attempt to corrupt the Senate in the mat
ter under investigation.
Thomas J. Marsh, Jr., of Tevkesbury, tes-
tilted that he had been employed as lobbyist
by Mr.. Williams in behalf of the Beverly
Farms committee and had received $3.50 in
ALL He considered that he had been paid in
full for his services and had used all conda-
bic means to win the money, of which means
he said, that whenever he met a legislator he
talked with him about his views. He simply
tried bv talking to influence members of the
legislature. He gave no part of the $3.50 to
anyone for his vote. He was given the mon
ey as retainer land retained it,"
George IL. Fernald of Worcester, testified
that he was employed in behalf of the Bever.
ly Farms committee. He received $4OO but
500 was yet due him. He talked with sew
eral Senators and urged them to go to Bev-
erly Farms, but not a cent of the money he
received was used directly or indirectly to
influence any Senator.
After recess Mr.. Maher said he desired to
correct a statement he had made at the morn
ing session. He did not meet Mr. Sopier
until after he had met Mr.. Pierce. 1t was
his mind to ask for $4,000 before he inst
Sopier. The witness said he had been lit
tie bad upon his previous testimony.
Hardy was called to the stand and named a
few Of the lobbyists employed by the divis-
ionists Among them were Messrs. Young,
Nichols, Pratt, Fernald, Reynolds, Amy,
Burgess and Gilbert.

SLIGHTLY CROOKED.
A Bogus Lottery Scheme, Practiced Upon
German. Americans.

CHICAGO, April 20.
One of the most barefaced lottery schemes
ever devised is now in operation throughout
the United States. This swindle is mainly
designed for victims among the German
speaking contingent in the large cities and
has already achieved considerable success.
Tle scheme is quite simp'e. A concern
styling itself Messrs. Thiele & Co, bankers,
Hamburg, Germany, through an agent in
Baltimore, has flooded the country with let
ters addressed to German residents OF all the
large cities. These letters contain donble
sheet circular twelve inches by eight, printed
in German and English. 1t gives glowing
description of the 1.-TWO hundred and ninety
second German government lottery OF the
city of Hamburg" 1t outlines the scheme Of
the lottery, the prizes ranging in different
sums from 5000 to 50,00 marks The man
ayers announce that on each ticket to assure
genuineness, will be printed the government
coat-of-arms.
Enclosure No. 2 is small oblong slip
printed as follows:
The amount may be remitted by means of
an American Express company's money or
der which must be made payable at Ham,
burg, Germany, by the company's agent re-
siding at your place of living. You will
